Did Racist Blacks Elect Obamao?

Now that some numbers are coming out on the appointment of Premier Obamao - an apparent trend shows why he was elected. Yes, blacks voted for Obamao - not because of who he was as a man he was - but because the color of his skin.FromUSA Today --

The study by the Pew Research Center, released Thursday, also showed that for the first time blacks had the highest voter turnout rate of any racial or ethnic group among people ages 18 to 29. Analysts said it remained to be seen how fully the strong minority participation, a reflection of both changing U.S. demographics and enthusiasm for Democrat Barack Obama, would carry over to future elections.In 2008, about 65% of blacks went to the polls, nearly matching the 66% voting rate for whites.

White people who did not vote for Odumbo were readily dismissed as racist. It meant nothing that you just did not agree with his campaign promises, his agenda, or who he was as a man - if you didn't check Barry's box - you were a racist.

So since the blacks voted in record numbers just because of the melanin enriched color of Obamao's skin and not the content of the man - wouldn't this make them racist too?
